Like those in the 18th century who appreciated archaeological discoveries of classical antiquity, I try to make art using authentic materials and methods from the same time. Oh yeah, and sometimes I use humor.

My Medusa mold is done and I have the positive in resin and marble dust finally. But, it is not photoworthy yet, so here is a project from last year. I was impressed very thoroughly with the interesting stonework in ancient Pompeii and wanted something other than plywood for the top of the bar. So, I settled on a marble square in square pattern with a raised lip around the sink. I still need to do a relief and mosaic combo in the background, but it's like a blank page and I have writers' block.
